Facebook Jail - 13 days left / backgammon

 Seems Republicans DON'T back the badge at all.  They only say they do to pound their chests and look good to their fellow Q buddies.  What a bunch of buffoons.  And while they are not backing the badge let's ignore science at the same time and refuse to get vaccinated.  They pack weapons because they refuse to be afraid which shows me they are afraid ALL THE TIME. YET - won't get vaccinated because . . well . . . . the excuses are many and it's all they are, excuses. Assholes make excuses.

HOPEFULLY my Republican friends (the real ones not the fascist Qrump morons) are really looking at their candidates in shock.  The biggest fascist racist bozo of them all Ron Johnson is still saying the Jan 6 insurrectionists were just having a big party and they were Antifa anyway.   

Back the badge my ass.

MEANWHILE - watch out for HEAVY serious storms tonight - tornadoes and derechos are likely and we are in the bullseye tonight.

I took a month off from virtual golf and came back to the tours a few weeks ago.  Elwood and I still played Divot Derby in 2K21 and in the last 38 matches have one 17 times.  Divot Derby is a game that uses golf.  Everybody tee's off at once (up to 20 players) and it's like musical chairs.  The last few in the hole get eliminated.  It's pretty fun.

The Brewers are back as the #1 team in my 2 week power ratings.  Only Detroit has scored more modified  runs (modified - you can't give up or score more than 8 runs) with 5.1 runs per game and they have the best pitching giving up 2.9 runs per game.

Cincinnati has been 29th best for almost 2 weeks now.

  Hasbro announced magic the Gathering and D&D cards were up 118% last year

I've been playing backgammon lately - remember a few decades ago when EVERYBODY was playing?  I mean EVERYBODY.  It's really a fun easy game.  But while I was looking around I saw that it is 5000 years old but you won't see it played in Islam.  Forbidden . . . . it's because of the dice which are considered a haram (which is very different then a harem) . . . "Whoever plays with dice, it is as if he dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig."

Well - that would make it a more interesting game for sure but I would not want to play it that way. 

And of course there is a betting aspect with the doubling cube. A story told to me is my friends balderdash, MadDog and the Blackcloud and the Forester were playing backgammon with a doubling cube and one guy ended up having to fork out $500 after a game (he could afford it). 

I remember carrying a backgammon set with me in my backpack and Elwood would have tournaments with 20 players at his apartment about Amy's cafe off state street.  Was this in the late 70s early 80s?

Koch Industries CEO Charles Koch (the far right conservative that HATED Scott Walker AND the fascist Trump - he actually used his brains ) spoke about his support for marijuana legalization and drug policy reform.  

Sorry sorry - I'm a little irritated with the so called Qservatives.  

**************** 
Olympics 

So sad.  The lack of crowds are really killing this iteration of the Olympics.  Like the 2019 NBA and the Bucks.  These athletes need crowds to get them elevated. No crowds it's just a boring exhibition.   NBC is getting killed down 34% from regular programming after the first 3 days.

Did I mention I'm on Twitter more now?   @RodMelotte  Since I can't post random comments on FB I needed an outlet. Normally sports related. 

**************  

OH OH  Quartz is trying to contact me  - I reamed them a new asshole a few days ago with their BS blaming Medicare for them not paying my shingles shot BUT paying DJs shingle shot at the same place.  I told them I didn't care about their BS excuse and we were looking for different healthcare.  I said WHAT!  you didn't have the cash to pay my $800 but did for DJ?  I pay YOU for insurance and you screwed me. PERIOD.  

*************** 

OK - nuff random drivel.

Cheers
